Neptune The Astrology Planet

Neptune shows the nature of your inner ideals developed in response to what your conditioning taught you about what it is good to aspire to in the outer world. It shows how you feel about your obligations to other people, based on obligations you once felt towards others in childhood. It also shows about the nature of your imaginative abilities.

Neptune is known as the planet of illusion. It stands for equality and the interests of collective society. It represents utopian social movements whose goal is to fairly distribute the world's resources. It symbolizes compassion, kindness, and the humanitarian concern. It rules hospitals, prisons, and bureaucracies. More than any other planet, its movements represent the destiny and consciousness of humanity as a whole. It is the symbol of everything intangible, mystical, imaginative, delicate and subtle. It is life unrestricted by ordinary limits and boundaries. Neptune also leads us into confusion, delusion and deception. It is the desire to escape from responsibility and to cleverly avoid facing reality. When fully expressed, Neptune is the beatific vision of universal, divine love and compassion for all beings. It is connected to the sign of Pisces and to the Twelfth House. Neptune revolves around the Sun once every one hundred and sixty-five years.

Neptune’s symbol in astrology is the cross of matter piercing the crescent of personality, setting it free to manifest at a higher level than personal ego. The cross represents life on Earth and the opposition of the separated will to its evolutionary destiny: the individual will linked in consciousness to all mankind. In the Aquarian age this union will come about through personal evolution and mastery of the personality, rather than through the crucifixion of the personality as has been the case in the last 2000 years.

Neptune, divine compassion, is the higher octave of personal love, Venus. Where Venus says, "I’ll love you if you love me." Neptune says, "I love you because it’s my nature to love. You are worthy of love because you exist." Neptune’s vibration is neither of matter nor of this Earth. It rules all that is subtle, mysterious, ill-defined and not material: sensitivity, suffering, compassion, music, dance, theater, film, dreams, fog, mist, drugs, alcohol, anesthesia, illusion, deception, obligation, the psychic, mediumistic and the mystical. Neptune rules Pisces, the sign of compassion, and the pineal gland and the feet in the human body; it is exalted in Cancer. Its key phrase is "Serve or suffer."

Neptune symbolizes sensitivity, psychic and mystical capacity, dreams, illusion, delusion, deception, the higher octave of Venus, drugs, alcohol, obligation, bondage and fog. In the physical body it rules the pineal gland, the thalamus, the spinal canal and general bodily nervous processes.

Neptune’s house position in your chart shows where you are being asked to sacrifice something personal and emotional, so that you can feel a larger part of what it is to be human, or to identify with more of life or humanity. You may also be involved with illusion or deception in that house, or feel like you’re operating under some obligation. This is a good place to use Virgo to discriminate between what’s real and what’s illusory. The final attainment of the last sign is universal love. Then sacrifice is joy and there is no suffering, as there is no personal self left to suffer.
